AC Milan eyeing shock swoop for Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino

AC Milan are ready to launch an audacious move for Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino .

And the San Siro giants will hand Pochettino a £300million summer transfer warchest to rejuvenate the club.

Former Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis won’t go quietly after being lured to Milan with the mandate of bringing trophies back to the famous old club.

Current boss Gennaro Gattuso’s reign is coming to an end after an uninspiring season in which they are scrambling to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Having seen interest in his manager from Real Madrid and Manchester United during the season, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy won’t welcome further speculation.
